Next to that you will see why it is especially important in Virtual Apps environments to have a look for the Frame Buffer Usage.

Are Client VMs back in fashion? Will the ghost of XenClient arise? Zombie or Jesus?

Going Cloud? It's where Citrix ADC has a role! Moving your environment towards cloud? Thinking that AzureAD will be your future authentication strategy? It's likely you'll still need access to some on-premises resources that won't make it over that quickly or others that are running outside of a pure Microsoft feature set, such as Amazon (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). In this session, you'll learn how Citrix ADC bridges the gap between clouds, and how to integrate remaining datacenter resources into a common offering while maintaining user experience. Plus, explore the elements that constitute a true hybrid cloud infrastructure, which will likely be the longest migration episode in many IT lives. Plus: in Citrix Workspace Services, learn about the latest update to their authentication strategy and available options.

Monitoringring an IT environment with analogue synthesizer feedback. In this session we will expand of the concept of using audio feedback to monitor your IT infrastructure. We will demonstrate how to monitor multiple servers and services with Powershell, IoT and analog synthesizers to give it some sizzle.
Going beyond just having some fun we will explore if the are any practical use cases for audio feedback in the real world (if there is such a thing), and see how we can use IoT in IT administration beyond the standard flashing emergency lights.

Azure Active Directory as Identity Provider for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Leveraging SAML, Azure Active Directory can also be used as an identity provider for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. In addition to a consistent end user experience across different SaaS applications, this also allows you to easily implement scenarios for multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies. In my presentation I will show you what the requirements for such an implementation are, how the solution presents itself to the end user and which further possibilities it opens up.

VDI by Day, Compute by Night. In a real-life project, I have designed and deployed a VDI platform that was fully utilized for a great User Experience by day. By night, the platform automatically turned into a compute platform to run Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence workloads and fully utilized CPUs, RAM and of course: GPUs. By leveraging the features and technologies in VMware Horizon, VMware vSphere and NVIDIA vGPU we were able to design and build a dynamic platform that is not only able to present the user with a great User Experience, but also offers data scientists a place to run their complex DL/AI (High-Performance Computing) workloads. In this session, I will explain how the platform was designed, what challenges I faced and how we solved them to get the ultimate VDI/HPC platform. The session will contain multiple demos :)

Containerization for the masses!
We in Microsoft land are way behind. The way we deploy infrastructure
is ridiculously complicated, slow and not resilient. Containers are a
solution for a lot of these issues but software vendors are simply not
providing them. Their excuse? 'Nobody uses containers on Microsoft'.
Well, there is not much point if you don't provide us with the bloody
containers!
In this session we will demonstrate how much easier
life could be if they can start providing us with containerized versions
of their software. We will attempt to roll out as much infrastructure
as possible with containers and show the advantages of this approach.

virtualization universe. The introduction of new technologies as e.g.
Docker containers in the agile world, securing them, troubleshooting and
deep dives into new technology as well as cyber-security keeps him
driving. Besides IT Helmut Hauser is part of the electronic music
